"It's hot.''
The voice M'cinM to be going by, and
by Its (one was apparently making this
suggestion to another voice .that was
passing It, for another voice Immediately
replied :
"Hoternl.'
We don't know' what the Inst voice
meant. It spoke a language we do not
understand ; but. II It Intended to assent
to the assertion of the llrst voice we have
no I'sue with It, for yesterday was about
as hot a day a a (1rst-clas sun could

Hot? Ves; there never was a hotter
day never. The Ice In the Ice-houses

it w ould not endure much more caloric

more, It would become water and boll

Hot! Why, it the spirits of Molt

gaged lu theetiuobliug business of mate
rializing, they must sullcr excruciating
torment. Such weather Is all the "bad

proof that the "bad place" tho Sunday
school hooks tell us about Is hotter than
Cairo at Ibis time, we may be counted in
at the next revival of religion.
Oranire BluMoma."
In tho last number of the Joncshnrn
Adrtrthrr, we find the following:
The local editor of tlic Jiullrtiii, of
Cairo, thinks he has made a happy hit in
the notice ot the party which wan lu
Cairo on last Tuesday and Wednesday a
week. In said article ho heads it with
"(.ranger Illossoms," (but to lei our
readers know this gentleman's eontempt
iblcnese. we will smte that he did not al
low his Intuiting article to npjH-ar until
the second l-suo nfler the event
happened, for fear, probably, that
some of the gentlemen pres
ent would administer to him a genteel
booting. After bearing ol the notice, a
party trom this place sent for several
copies of the paper, but for fear of the
probable consequences, the papers were
not forthcoming.) We do not know
whether to lay the Insult to the want of
brains on the part of the local of the Hul
Ittin, or to his downright meanness ; but
one thing sure, that the gentleman being
a "(irangcr Blossom" would bo an honor
to him, and might admit the gentleman
more often into respectable society, but
ids being a granger would be no credit to
the organization.
How the AdttrtUtr man dared to tell
so palpable a falsehood os is contained in
the aboye we cannot understand. We
did not head the report of the Hanuers
Frick wedding in this city : "Granger
Blossoms," but "Orange Blossoms,"'
which, if the editor of the AdcertUer
knows anything, he knows is not an un
usual way to head-line notable marriage
cereuioiiic-. Many brides of to-day wear
wreaths of orange blossoms on their
heads, and, blossoms on their drcs-.es.
and therefore orange blo--oms have eome
to oe associated wttn tne marriage cer
emony. These arc the words that headed
our report of the Hanncrs-Frlck wedding
and not ''Granger Bloisouis"' as the Ad
vrrflier Imu untruthfully asserted. It
would be unnecessary to oApiain tin. .
any person not an utter ignoramus, as
Dougherty Is.
We did not publish the report of the
marriage tne morning alter tne cere
mony was performed, because we could
not prepare It on the night of (he wed
ding m time to be put into tvpe. The
intimation that we postponed its publi
cation fearing the toe of the boot of any
of tlic weddingcrs, is mean. One thing
is sure, tne ooot on tne Aactrmtr man s
foot never alarmed us or any one else ;
for, while the boot may be very valiant,
the f(Ht in it in so cowardly it always car
ries the boot rapidly away from danger.
Dougherty 13 almost as great a coward
as he has In this matter proved himself
to lie an untruthful fellow in very plain
English, a great liar.
When George Dougherty, regarded by
all his acquaintances as a very weak
headed fellow, almost but we will not
say it wneu he talks about, want of brains
in any erson, then has Impudence
achieved its most wonderful feat ! But
George Is so foolish o very light lu the
upier dory so utterly tjegardless ot
truth, that w e need not. notice further
this mean aud lying attempt on his part
to injure us in the estimation of friends
who did not see our report of the wed
ding. (General Items.

' adds that "a party of this place sent for

If the youth of the Jonesboro Ad-

Orange Blossoms are always worn by

in fact or constructively. How Ihe

"Citizen,'' in a communication pub
lished by us this morning, makes some
suggestions concerning the lire limits ol
the city that our authorities would do
well to carefully consider. A brick city
is preferable to a wooden one, but a
wooilen city is preferable to no city at
all ; and while It is dc-lrable that the va
cant lots of Ihe city should be filled by
brick structures, would It not be well
to permit some or them now embraced
within the fire limits to be tilled by
frames t At a time when Cairo was
about to take its equal station with the
great cities of the world the council
widened the fire limits and embraced
nearly all the city and additions; but
when the project of Immediately
stepping up to greatness vanished
Into thin air. the council contracted the
limits. And now, when all the country
Is alllicted by financial "shortness," and
Cairo Is Mtffcriug almost us much as St.
Louis. New York, Philadelphia, aud
other of the larger cities, w ould It not le
well in tlic council to draw hi its fire lim
it horns a little more J Like our friend
Davis of the .S'kii, we expres no opinion,

THE FIBE LIMITS.
OiiKht Ihey to be. t'ouf rnrted ? l,ut
'I'ltlceir Think on llic Nulret r
Fruiuvn l'r-rrHlle to no lloimes.
Editoii Bui.lktin Dear Mr : It mav
be a wNe provision lu densely popula
ted and well-built portions of a city, to
designate certain boundaries within
which no wooden building may be con
structed;but I doubt whether, when these
boundaries encircle nearly whole squares
of vacant lots, that the policy ol enclos
ing those lots within the fire limits is a
benefit to the city. In Cairo our fire
limits enclose several large vacant places,
composed of trom two to eight, ten and
more lots, upon which the owners would,
lu most cases, erect substantial wooden
buildings if it could be done without
having recourse to so much red tape.
Such buildings, In my estimation, would
be preferable to the unsightly vacant
places that lie open in prominent por
tions ot the city, and especially on the
levee.
Considerable nonsense is indulged in
by some, who seem to think that Cairo
Hhonld put-on the airs of a metropolitan
elly and have lire limits, by glibly say
ing, "It costs us much to put up a frame
as a brick building." Lei lhoe parties
try It, and they will find a serious differ
ence in cost : and It is this difference that
prevents many house being erected
within the lire limits that would improve
the looks and business of tho city, and
not entail au annual loss on the property
holder In the shanu of faxes on Ihe va
cant lots. He could at least save that by
a moderate yearly rental for a good
frame, and be satisfied. Men with small
capital, wishing lo do business, cannot
build within those limits, and -those with
means will not build when they clearly
see that by so doing they Impose upon
themselves a heavier loss than tho vacant
lots entail. The day of the "big bonan
za" in real estate aud buildings lu Cnlro
has passed, at least for the present. The
general quietude of trade Is a great bar to
costly Improvements; ami are not
Improvements lu the shape of
good frame buildings preferable
to none at nil V I think they
are, though pronamy more li
able to catch Hie; but 1 think In
finitely less dangerous when on life than
the hermorphrodite, hall brick, half
wooden structures that are built within
tho fire limits. When business Is good
and the prices of rents will iustlfy, brick
buildings will bo erected, but.tuuler pres
ent circumstances, would It bo policy to
put up a brick building at double the
cost of a frame, and be ablo to get no
more reijt for one than the other? I
think tho fire limits, as nearly as possi
ble, should bo modified so as to permit
thoso vacant places within tho limits be
ing built on, either brick or frame, nt tho
option nnd means of tho owners. Those
cyc-ttorcs would soon be occupied by neat
buildings, and the iiuncnrau.ee oi tne city
Improved thereby.
Yours, truly, Citizkn.

"apt. Hicks' mammoth Mary vwv
was launched at Metropolis yesterday af
ternoon, to the surprise of everybody
aud the disappointment of not a few.
The launch was hurried up on account of
the rlsinig river, which was already
within four feet of the hull, and would
soon have made the work impossible.
Capt. Cutting has to deliver the boat by
a certain date, and could not allord lo
await the decline of the river.
